The New Machiavelli is a novel written by H.G. Wells, first published in 1911. The story follows the life of Richard Remington, a successful politician and writer who is forced to resign from his position due to a scandal involving his affair with a married woman. After losing everything he has worked for, Remington retreats to the countryside to reflect on his life and try to start anew. While there, Remington meets a group of Bohemian artists and intellectuals who introduce him to a new way of thinking about politics and society. They encourage him to embrace Machiavellian principles and use any means necessary to achieve his goals. As Remington begins to put these ideas into practice, he becomes increasingly ruthless and manipulative, using his charm and cunning to gain power and influence. However, his actions have consequences, and he soon realizes that he has become a pawn in a larger political game.The New Machiavelli is a thought-provoking exploration of power, morality, and the corrupting influence of ambition. It is a classic work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.When I think of how such things began in my mind, there comes back to me the memory of an enormous bleak room with its ceiling going up to heaven and its floor covered irregularly with patched and defective oilcloth and a dingy mat or so and a surround as they call it, of dark stained wood. Here and there against the wall are trunks and boxes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
